Default Quick Question (fuel cut-off switch - RV)
When delving into the redline on my early '44, the car suddenly jerked forward like it does when you let off the gas completely in a low gear. I'm wondering if these cars have fuel cut-off switches at ~6400RPM?

almost every vehical on the road does ... if you chip it, your govener will be a bit softer to hit...

If it's the revlimiter you'll also def hear the engine bounce off it.

Chip it and the limiter will go away. That doesn't mean revving it higher is ok though.
